FAQs

No, we offer a large selection of new and used wedding & bridesmaid dresses. Our consignment gowns come to us from individuals, other boutiques and designers. 

Most gowns go with you the same day with no need to wait. Yay!!!

If you choose to order a new wedding gown, then the lead time is 2 to 6 months, and we can always check to see what they have in stock!

Honestly, after a combined 25+ years we still wonder sometimes. Each designer has it’s own size chart and most of them are based off of European sizing. 

So…. what does that mean? You could fit into a range of sizes depending on the designer, fit & fabric, plus if you choose a previously loved gown it may have been altered. Our best suggestion is to try on different styles and sizes to see what works on your body. We are always happy to help.

Alterations are not included, but we do have appointments available in store to work with a seamstress. We can schedule those when you find your dress. We are also happy to provide recommendations for tailors.

*Please keep in mind that almost every dress will require some alteration in order for it to fit your body.

Pressing or steaming is not included, but we do offer this service to our customers. We would be happy to schedule this for you when you find your dress!

*We recommend that you have your dress pressed or steamed right before your big day and after any alterations have been made.

No, walk-ins are always welcome!

We do offer appointments and suggest them on Saturdays to ensure that we have a room available for you.

Let me start out by saying the staff is incredible! This was the 5th shop we tried for my daughter's event. While we did not find a dress here either, it was not because of lack of inventory optiond or prices- they just simply didn't have a very specific dress. They are well organized by color and sizes. Gowns are preowned- with fair prices. We did not know they were a used boutique but it wasn't relevant either way, as all gowns were clean and appeared like new. Dressing rooms were great. We were lucky enough to witness an experience a young soon- to be bride- was having and the staff treating here with so much care and attention - there is no doubt this will now be our first stop for our daughters events in the future. A great place for prom or wedding shopping with a staff that makes it an enjoyable adventure 😊
My daughter-in-law and I came here with a pretty tight budget. We were looking for something that didn’t need much altering but still felt luxurious. We were given a private area and adorable signs to give our opinion. We tried tons of dresses and were never rushed. Courtney pulled one last dress and it was EVERYTHING the bride was looking for. We added some Stevie sleeves and a cathedral veil. We all (including the staff) held back tears. We had the perfect dress at the perfect price, alterations were affordable and quick. (We had just about two weeks before the wedding) this was the best experience! I highly recommend this place, if you want the royal treatment on a budget!
The Formal Niche staff were very helpful. They helped me try on a variety of dresses, found items within my price range, and explained different ways dresses could be altered for the perfect fit. Their bridal area was very welcoming, allowing my mom and sisters a place to ooh and ahh as I showed off each dress. I would highly recommend this store.
Went in today for a wedding dress appointment and had the best experience with Aubrey! Going in nervous, unsure what to expect with looking for a plus size dress and walked out to saying I had found the PERFECT dress for me! She was sweet and I didn’t feel pressured or rushed! Will recommend 100%
What a beautiful selection and wide variety of formal dresses! We purchased my wedding dress here for a fraction of the cost of a new dress and it is absolutely stunning! The staff are extremely helpful in suggestions for sizing and not pushy like other clothing stores I have been to. I definitely recommend at least taking a look. I will be back for accessories 💗
